Boy’s Brigade – Company Section (P7-S6)

Within our church we have a two very healthy and active Boys’ Brigade Companies, Glasgow 231 and Glasgow 278. Both companies have a separate Anchor Boys and a Junior Section. In Company Section 231 and 278 meet jointly. All sections follow age group appropriate programmes based on six areas: get active, get into the bible, get creative, get learning, get adventurous and get involved. The Battalion provides enormous resource of activities and support which each section can access as well as opportunities to attend competitions and events. The adventure begins in Anchor Boys from the ages of 5 to 8, the Boys are recognised by their red sweatshirts and often red faces after an exciting and energetic session. They meet and engage in lots of fun, games and activities, quizzes and crafts. They are introduced to the Bible and listen and learn from different stories. Highlights include annual colouring competitions, Halloween and Christmas parties, pancake day and achieving badges throughout the session culminating in the annual display and parents evening which is always great fun. The Boys then progress to the Junior Section, which involves Boys from the age of 8 to 11. This section can be recognised by their royal blue sweatshirts.

Repair Café Glasgow at Clyde Community Hall

What happens at a Repair Café? When you arrive with an item for repair, our check-in team will ask you what you want repaired so we can record the outcome of your repair. We track what is brought in and whether it is repaired, so we can learn for the repairs, know what we have saved from being landfilled and share this with others so we can spread the word on the 'right to repair' campaign. Depending on the time you turn up and the number of participants, there could be a wait before a suitable repairer is free but we do our best to keep this waiting time to a minimum. This gives you the opportunity to enjoy a hot drink and some tasty treats in the café. When an appropriate repairer is available, you are invited to sit with them, watch the repair taking place and even assist with it if you so wish. The repairer will always explain what is happening so it’s also a chance for you to learn and pick up some new practical skills. If your possession can’t be repaired – and unfortunately sometimes this is the case – the reasons for this will be explained and advice given on the safest and easiest way to dispose of it.

Bongo's Bingo

The infamous bingo show putting a unique twist on a traditional game: a wild night of rave intervals, awkward dance offs, big money and ridiculous prizes. Bongo's Bingo is a wild shared social extravaganza and a night of pure nostalgic escapism. Whilst staying true to the original rules, Bongo's immerses you in a wild night out with the chance to win iconic prizes from giant pink unicorns and Henry Hoovers, to mobility scooters and karaoke machines. It’s immersive, inclusive and incredible. Everyone from 18 to 92 plays and parties together. There are no barriers and no limits. Quite simply, there’s nothing else like it.
